Hi Tony,

There is an email list for the AWX project specifically, and the question
would be better asked there.

Templating from user-provided values is specifically disabled by the
server, by marking those as unsafe with the Ansible YAML constructor. There
is a setting available to control exactly what the scope of variables this
is done for. If you are not concerned about the security implications of
allowing lunch-time variables to be templated, then that setting should
work for you.
